Speaker. I think todays debate has demonstrated conclusively to the whole American people the fact that we have- here truly a. representative Government. Men take their stand upon this question to exclude negro Immigration to the United States out of consideration for the point of view of -their respective States and home sentiments. If one shall go to the city of Chicago. where ourfriend from Illinois lives. and look around at his constituents. one would think he had entered into the heart of Africa. He has more voting negro constituents than any other Member of Congress. If one go along the water front of the district in Philadelphia of my distinguished friend. Hon. "HMPY" MooitE. lie would think he was traversing the Dark Continent Ience both of these great statesmen discourse eloquently of the political wrong involved in thls amendment to prevent any more negroes from coming to this country. where they already constitute nearly oneeighth of the population of this white mans country. Wherever a great number of negro voters live in a Members district. then it at once becomes very unAmerican to want to restrict further negro immigration. But in my State of Texas. where we have vastly more negroes but have sense enough to maintain white supremacy despite them. It is entirely proper to try to restrict further increase in our negro population.
